It then comes back up okay. My guess is that something else is getting to the card first and trying to start it up unsuccesfully, then the network script is coming in and can't do it because the first one messed it up.
For PCMCIA network cards (and I'm writing this from a laptop with one) you shouldn't have an eth0 interface stanza in /etc/network/interfaces, but should instead use /etc/pcmcia/network.opts (which is well documented internally). This way debian will skip the interface on boot and bring it up when you insert the PCMCIA card.
